The down side is it is SLOW to release at rpm's above 6k.If you're looking to shift fast,get rid of the weights they add to them.

My understanding from research and talking to other Centerforce users is that the weights are the reason the Centerforce is able to provide 90% more clamping power than OEM type units. If you remove them then I think you might as well just use one of their disc with your OEM type pressure plate and save the $ spent on their "weighted pressure plate technology".
Also: I'm running a hyd. roller cam and I doubt that I will ever fell the need shift fastly above the 6,000 RPM level, as my cam is pretty much "done" it's best by 6,000 RPM anyway. I have no desire to "speed shift" at all much less at or above 6,000. There are no racing intentions just a strong pulling street performance engine with no powershifting/speedshifting desires.
Thanks for the good input but I think for my needs the clutch will shift as quickly as I will ask it to on all but perhaps the rarest of occasions.
I do however truly appreciate your reply and your giving me some much needed education on the subject.
Thanks, Don
P.S. That Lone Star looks great and my favorite color (next to the more unique "Grabber Orange" anyway). I really like their LS427 Cobras and think they are among the very best out there. A lot of folks don't know about them but they should. Comfortable too, plus they make a really nice and afordable removable hard top for them as an option. My next one (if there is a next one) might be a Lone Star kit. They have a great 7 day home build program also. You made a great choice!
Really like them.
